Successive approximation analog to digital converter with capacitor mismatch calibration and method thereof
Abstract:
A capacitance mismatch calibrating method for a successive approximation register ADC which includes at least one array of capacitors is provided. The method includes the following steps: firstly, at least two compensating capacitors are configured. A capacitor from the array of capacitors is selected as a capacitor-under-test. Then, the terminal voltages on the terminals of the array of capacitors and on the terminals of the compensating capacitors are determined. A first comparison voltage is outputted based on the determined terminal voltages. Afterwards, a sequence of comparisons is controlled based on the first comparison voltage and a second comparison voltage to output a sequence of corresponding digital bits. Finally, a calibration value is calculated to calibrate the value of a capacitor-under-test according to the digital bits.
